Your experience with Carl Zeiss Pancolar 50 f/1.8 "Panda"

[p.giannakis]

Hi everyone,

A couple of days ago, i came across this lens on a charity shop for the grand total of £6.

I do not have an M42 camera or an adapter for digital so it will be sometime until I shoot some film with it.
What is your experience with it? Your views and sample pictures will be highly appreciated.

It's a popular lens. There are several groups on flickr devoted just to the Pancolar 1.8/50. You can find some photos here: https://www.flickr.com/groups/pancolar/pool/
